Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome back Stockyards Bank Sunday Morning Sports Talk. I'm Anthony White,
along with Larry Vault and producer Bo Robinson, coming to
you from Clark's Main Street Market studios in downtown Lexington, Kentucky.
We're now proud to be joined by Chad Greenway, former
NFL plaier, but yet father of Madden. Greenway five eight
(00:21):
point guard five star point guard is signed with the
University of Kentucky. Good morning, Chad. Good here from you again.
Speaker 2 (00:27):
Hey, good morning, guys. How's you on this morning?
Speaker 1 (00:30):
It's going pretty good. It's been a pretty good morning.
All was well, Howard.
Speaker 2 (00:36):
Things as a little warmer. Be's a little warmer down
there than it is here. We're about zero degrees and
a bunch of snow and ice in the lake and
it's nasty. So how's it down there?
Speaker 3 (00:45):
Wow?
Speaker 1 (00:45):
Really, I'm gonna I'm gonna say thirty ish twenty something.
Speaker 3 (00:51):
That's not bad.
Speaker 2 (00:52):
That's kind of cold for.
Speaker 1 (00:52):
You guys knowing that, Oh yeah, that's cold for us.
Are you are you accustomed to that type? I'm from
Cleveland and it's it doesn't get as cold as you
guys get, But are you accustomed to that? Is as
just a normal day at the office when you're in
single digits and negative digits.
Speaker 2 (01:08):
Yeah, unfortunately in Minnesota. I grew up in South Dakota,
but we've been in Minnesota obviously since six and it's
pretty pretty normal in December and January to be miserable.
So yeah, I'm looking at the lake right now. It's
got probably a foot ice on it already, and it's
been pretty miserable. But I do have a special treat
for you guys. I got Madden sitting right here ready
to jump on the radio with you guys.
Speaker 4 (01:29):
Not the personal chap. That is good news. So yeah,
that's right.
Speaker 2 (01:33):
I figure you'd rather talk to her than me.
Speaker 4 (01:36):
Yeah, well, thank you very much for joining us. Man.
We appreciate that.
Speaker 5 (01:41):
Hi, asking warning glad to be.
Speaker 4 (01:43):
On and also tell us just a little bit. I mean,
I kind of keep up with you stat wise, and
I was just looking last night this season. Right now,
you're averaging thirty two points, seven and a half, three bounds,
eight and a half assist almost seven for game. You're
now at four thousand, six hundred and forty seven career points.
(02:04):
I think that's then about what four hundred to the
all time state record. You've got over a thousand rebounds,
You've got one thousand and eighty seven assists, which is
the all time record for assists in the state of Minnesota.
You're over seven hundred steals. So just how well is
this season going for you?
Speaker 5 (02:24):
The season's going good so far. I think we've you know,
been battle tested with some pretty hard games early on,
which has been good for you know, we're kind of
a young team, have some youth, so it's been good. Obviously,
it's been challenging and just really trying to you know,
hone in on my skills like for next year, and
trying to use all these hard games to you know,
test some things and just continue to grow. And yeah,
(02:45):
I enjoyed this year, but also you know, prepare for next.
Speaker 3 (02:49):
And are you goin Larry?
Speaker 4 (02:53):
That's what I saying. Just tell folks, you've been committed
to Kentucky for a long time. Coach Brooks couldn't talk
about you. Do you officially got signed? Now you were
saying he just was gushing about you. But what what
is there? What was there about Kentucky that convinced you
so early in your recruitment? Okay, this is where I
want to come and maybe it's just so you can
(03:13):
come down here and get warm.
Speaker 5 (03:15):
Yeah, I would say Coach Brooks I always had a
good connection, even when he was at Virginia Tech. And
then you know, he went there and I went on
my visit and he you know, they were my top
school going into the visit, and then you know, I
ended up committing that night. Just I fell in love
with at the moment that I set on campus. And
I think the connection that I had with Coach Brooks
and the staff was something that I didn't find even
(03:37):
close at any other school. So once I, you know,
fell in love with the campus, it was pretty hard
to turn down.
Speaker 3 (03:42):
And so are you.
Speaker 1 (03:45):
I know you've watched a lot of Kenny Brook's teens
and uh, you know, got a chance to talk to him,
but have you actually watched how closely Kenny Brooks relies
on this point guards And we've had actually both point guards,
last year's point guard and this year's point guard on
the show, and they are both some feisty individuals. They
both challenged me and I didn't like it.
Speaker 5 (04:06):
Yeah, I would say obviously all my visits, I've seen
his workouts and then just even now watching the games,
like more in depth. Just seeing how much he realized
and had such a good connection with his point guard.
That's something that really drew me into him being able
to have that leadership role. And you know, he's in
sold all the confidence in me even before I've stepped
foot on campus. So I'm just super excited to be
able to play for him. And I just think my
(04:28):
place style on how he wants the point guards to
play is, you know, goes hand in hand.
Speaker 4 (04:34):
Matt, Matt, I really liked it. As soon as he
was able to talk with you when you were official
or talk about you when you were officially Sam. One
of the first things he said, well, we were talking
to me about he's gonna throw you right out there
next year. I mean, he didn't do like some coaches,
played a little coach speak. We'll see how she does.
We'll kind of work her in. We'll hope she to.
He said, we're gonna throw her right on out there
and go with it. Is that something you liked hear?
(04:56):
I mean, I'm assuming that's what you want to do anyway.
Speaker 5 (05:00):
Yeah, I mean that's obviously great to hear, and I
know that we've been talking about that for a little bit,
and I think, yes, it'll be challenging, and obviously, you know,
playing the best conference against some great competition, it will
be tough in some moments. But I'm excited to be
able to grow and I know that he regardless of
the mistakes or the good moments, like, he'll continue to
grow with me and put trust in me. So it
makes it a little bit daunting, but I'm excited.
Speaker 1 (05:23):
And is there any like mental playing the SEC as
at all, playing college sports at all as a true
freshman would be tough? Is there any mental preparation when
the coach says that? Sometimes coach says that to get
you to sign with him. But Kenny Brooks seems to
be a straight shooter. So if he's expecting you to
play as a true freshman, are you are you preparing
(05:45):
for that any thing that you are doing differently to
make sure that if that opportunity comes, when it is
does come, that you can be as prepared as possible.
Speaker 5 (05:55):
I would just say, for me, when I get on
campus and even now, like i've you know, like I've said,
continue to grow on the things that I want to
entrust my preparation, And I know that coach Brookstol put
me in the right spots and it will come with me,
you know, having to make my own plays. And I
just I have the most confidence in our team and
this thing my preparation, and I think it will definitely
be you know, challenging mentally, but I think I prepare
(06:19):
myself and had enough competition in my years growing up
that I think it'll you know, it's helped prepare me.
Speaker 4 (06:26):
Chat. I'm kind of curious. Madden's the all time state
leading scorer and soccer. She's a state track champion. As
we talked about, She's already got these all time assist
record in the state of Minnesota, closing in on maybe
the scoring record. Did you make her play a bunch
of different sports when she was little? Encourage her to
play a bunch of different sports? She just tell you
(06:48):
that's what she was going to do. How did all
that kind of evolve and how did she become such
a standout and all of them?
Speaker 2 (06:55):
Yeah, I think it's you know, the conversations going around
the country right now is just with youth sports and
really focus in one sport and kids really specializing early.
My wife, you know, has been well documented. She ran
track in college, but she was also a high school basketball,
volleyball player, track and cross country, and same with me baseball, track, football,
so in basketball. So multi sports was just our life.
(07:18):
And and as you know, clubs and you know, different
groups try to make you specialize. We really focused on
putting the kids in a school where they'd be able
to focus on multiple sports and then you know, whatever
one they picked and loved to kind of focus on
that one year round. So she's able to you know,
and most importantly, to be able to play with their siblings.
You know. Obviously, Madden's younger sister, Beckett, is a freshman,
and she's now had three seasons with her in basketball
(07:40):
and soccer, and and they'll run track again and the
spring together. And when this is all said and done,
you know, and everybody's you know, puts their shoes down
and puts the basketball down, it's it's it's more about
that in that relationship with her sister, and that opportunity
and those uh and those great memories they'll have. But yeah,
I mean we we you know, they would not be
allowed to only play one. I mean, we simply wouldn't
allow it. You know, it's about it's about just you know,
(08:02):
being being well rounded, playing different roles on different teams,
pushing yourself in different ways, because at the end of
the day, you know, you can be a great basketball player,
but you got to be a good human and that
comes with its being well rounded and playing multiple sports
and and doing hard things. You know, we in track
she runs really hard events, you know, three hundred hurdles
for four by four hundred relay. So she's running hard
events and doing hard things because just mentally, you know,
(08:23):
as we talked about preparing for the SEC, that's a
whole nother grind, and she'll be able to lean back
in some of those memories she's had in other sports
and really and really kind of take from them.
Speaker 4 (08:32):
And crazy is it so? So as crazy as it
sounds with Madden spending our time in a different sports,
when she gets to Kentucky and she becomes basketball only,
do you think her best basketball is still ahead of her?
You can either Ansset or Madden either wanted how you
all kind of feel about that when you become basketball only.
Speaker 2 (08:54):
Yeah, you know, when you specialize young and I saw
this a lot in my football career, is when you
specialize and you're in the way room as a high
school kids, just focusing on football in one position, you
kind of you kind of reach your potential a little
quicker than others. And multi support kids that go to
college is well documented, have just to have a higher ceiling.
You know, she's never specialized in basketball year round, she
never trained year around. Mean, she's always she's always training, right,
(09:15):
I mean she's always putting shots up or getting some
stuff done, but she's never focused really on her you know,
in depth development of the game, uh, and the intricacies
that come with that, especially playing point guard that you know,
she because she's running to track practice, or she's running
to soccer practice, and she's doing these other things. So
we really think it's sort of just tip of the
spear for her when she gets to college. And and
(09:36):
that was one of those things from her parent perspective.
You know, yes, it's it's coach Brooks obviously, but it's
the entire staff and what they've built there from this day.
You know, from a from a culture, the kids, the
kids get along, the kids love each other. They're they're
having fun, they're winning, they're doing it the right way.
They're they're recruiting the right kind of kids, and uh,
you know, we're obviously you know, we're we're excited to
(09:59):
be part of of a big blue nation and dive
all the way in here soon when she gets on campus.
So yeah, it's part of the process, but it's one
of those things you just take from it and hopefully
she'll keep getting better.
Speaker 1 (10:11):
And Chad, since I have the opportunity, since you're a
professional athlete yourself and raising some stellar athletes and your
wife as well, there's always a conversation based off what
we just talked about. There's a conversation about people say, well,
they only play basketball, they stopped playing sports in high school.
I've always been a big proponent of play as many
(10:31):
You don't know if you're going to growth spurts, you
don't know if you're going to develop faster in any
other Just because you've been a professional athlete and you
are raising successful athletes, would you be on the argument of, well,
my kid needs to specialize, so I took them out
of all the other sports, or do you think it
was advantageous for your girls to play and yourself to
(10:52):
play multiple sports.
Speaker 2 (10:54):
Oh yeah, no, it's definitely played multiple At the end
of the day, if if we're trying to develop your
young people to play professional sports, you're doing it wrong.
I mean, it's so hard to make it. I mean
I play with you know, multiple All Americans and guys
in college that didn't make it in the NFL. I mean,
it doesn't you know at the end of the day, like,
it's so hard to make it to those leagues no
matter what sport you're playing, and certainly the game that
(11:15):
Madden's going the direction that I want to with basketball,
you know, the w n b A and professional leagues
overseas her are really hard to uh, really hard to make.
And of course that's a goal that she has and
I think that we have for her. But you never,
you never you never look at the long the long game.
You just take it one day at a time. If
you start to just focus on those long term goals
and you take everything out of your life that you
think is going to actually hinder you to get there,
(11:36):
I think multiple sports is actually going to help you
get there. You can look at the NFL draft, NBA draft,
the guys that are playing multiple sports are predominantly the
ones getting drafted. So it's it's a I mean, I'm
a huge proponent. I think a lot of folks should
should do that and and we really wanted to, you know,
folcus on the kids being well rounded athletically and also
try to be great kids while you're doing it.
Speaker 1 (11:57):
And I wanted to ask Madden, the new thing now
is with the youth and maybe because of social media.
Do you guys have a group chat? Swords and Swords
and McDonald and you all, do you have a group chat?
Do you guys communicate on a regular basis?
Speaker 5 (12:12):
Yeah, No, we do have a group chat. We've been
talking and it's just been obviously you know, their high
school teammates, and it's been so fun to be able
to meet them and you know, an their personalities off
the court. But we're just we always been talking about
how excited we are to you know, get on campus
and just have that summer to kind of get closer
and grow together. So it's gonna be super fun.
Speaker 4 (12:32):
Matt. Did you get a chance to see the other
night when your future teammate KK Carroll put in those
six three pointers? I thought maybe one time she was
finally gonna go inside and shoot, but no, she just
bombed away from outside made six three pointers. Friday, night.
Speaker 5 (12:47):
Yeah, no, I did see that. I think it's obviously
great to see her. Me and her have gotten super
close earliers, so to be able to see her, you know,
have some success as a freshman and just to she
has so much fun doing it. So it's been super
fun to watch her and yeah, super proud.
Speaker 4 (13:00):
So and then when you kind of look back, I mean,
I know, you're you're so young, it's already thinking about
looking back, but all the success you're having, is there
one particular moment has been Has it been the basketball
state championships? Has it been the soccer all time scoring records?
It just playing with your sister? What's kind of been
your favorite memory so far? Or is there just not
(13:22):
one you could even pick?
Speaker 5 (13:26):
I mean, it's hard to pay There's been so many
great memories, but I think ending the soccer season on
a state championship and just be able to end my
soccer career and like the best way possible with my
best friends and my sister and all. That was just
amazing to do and it was just a great, you know,
cap off to a bunch of years playing the sport.
But I think it also shows, like you know, that
(13:46):
chapter in my life is ending, but I had so
much fun doing it and ended in the best way possible.
It's the best people. So that was one of my
favorite memories. I think I'll cherish that for a long time.
Speaker 4 (13:56):
And then I had a listener text me just now
and wanted to ask whether you thought as your father
had more influence on your athletic career, your mother had
more influence, or have you not paid attention to either
one of them.
Speaker 5 (14:10):
I think I would say probably my dad. He's obviously
pushed me and taught me my work ethic and how
much how much work it takes to get to where
I want to be, And I think they've both always
been super supportive. But my dad's had a huge huge
impact on my athletic accomplishments. I suppose.
Speaker 4 (14:27):
So, Chad, did you actually, I know you're coaching, you
get involved in coaching? Did you coach Madden at some
point during her basketball career?
Speaker 5 (14:40):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (14:40):
Well yeah, she said that. Only said that because I'm
just sitting right here at all, so you know how
that goes.
Speaker 3 (14:43):
If her mom.
Speaker 2 (14:44):
Was getting there doing the interview, she'd be saying that. No.
I mean, I think I've always I've always thought Man's
best attribute was her mentality, and I think that a
lot of she does get a lot of that from
her mom. Just her competitive nature and will to win
and to want to win, and so that's you know,
Jenny certainly gets a lot of credit for that. Yeah,
My first my first job post career in the NFL
(15:06):
was coaching Madden in fourth grade basketball. So I coached
her from you know, third grade all the way up
through sixth grade, and then I coach her a youth
team as well, or at least helped with it for
over the years in our in her youth basketball world.
And then once she got to you know, the next
you know, sort of that that age up to seventh
eighth grade, I stepped away and just let other people,
you know, handle that and just try to watch them
a far and just be a dad as much as
(15:27):
I could, you know, and step away and not you know,
really wanted to build a relationship that's beyond sports. Obviously.
I don't want our whole relationship to just be about
sports and and UH and me coaching. So it's been
nice to have good people around her that have coached
her and pushed her hard and and UH. And that's
why another reason, you know, you just love coach Brooks
and his staff because you just feel like you're handing
(15:47):
her off to somebody who really cares about her as
a person but also wants to develop her as a
player and a human being. So that's the that's a
great part from a from a parents standpoint, And yeah,
I've done it, you know beck At, our next daughter.
At coached her and now I'm coaching our fifth grader.
It was a lot of fun. I played high school
hoops and and and wanted to be a basketball player
in college, but it's got a better offer, more more
money for play football, so I'm with that direction instead
(16:07):
of a set of hoops. So it's fun to get
back into basketball world and be the coach to kids
and have and you know, helps them build a love
for it.
Speaker 4 (16:14):
And Beckett's already getting scholarship or a lot of college
attention already, didn't she.
Speaker 2 (16:20):
Yeah she is, Yeah, she's you know, it's really you know,
it's interesting. You know, Madden sort of the least locally
here has kind of had to always play with that
that that, uh, I guess in a shadow so to speak,
of my playing career here in Minnesota, and now Beckett's
got a couple of shadows to deal with with Madden
and and just our family name up here in Minnesota.
And and she's really done a great job of stepping
out into her own world and doing her own thing.
(16:42):
And yeah, she's caught a bunch of great attention already.
And she's a fiery competitor, really good on ball defender,
and a great offensive player. So she's grown into her
own her own game. And she's you know, she's got
a different game than Madden, but still plays that point
guard role. So you know, she's a fiery competitor as
well and has a chance. I keep telling them they're
fifth grade sister is gonna be the best one. But
(17:02):
we'll see how that shakes out. That that's up to
the coach to get her gooder, that fifth grader good.
Speaker 1 (17:07):
And my last question is, because you guys have such
a well rounded athletic household, will you all at three
point thirty be watching the volleyball National Championship in the
Greenway household?
Speaker 2 (17:18):
We will? Yeah, we love that semifinal match. You know
what I thought as I watched that game take play out.
I always think it's funny to see how games take shape,
and and in that it was just their ability and
their conditioning. You know, Kentucky's conditioning to be really good
in the final two sets was incredible to watch. And
Wisconsin that you could just watch them run out of gas.
(17:38):
And I think that's going to play a huge role
in this championship game because it's going to come down
to attrition because it's you know, it's been a long
run of grind. Kids are sleeping in hotel rooms and
it's like who can play the best the longest. So
we'll be watching and we're fired up and sharing for
the girls.
Speaker 3 (17:53):
I appreciate that, Larry, good bod you got anything else.
Speaker 4 (17:56):
Now, Just just appreciate Chad, you and Madden both joining
us today. Stay as warm as possible up there, but
I guess you guys are so used to it you
just deal with it. Ivanta just baby cold, you're even
talking about that.
Speaker 2 (18:08):
Yeah, it's definitely cold, that's for sure.
Speaker 3 (18:10):
But thanks for having us song.
Speaker 2 (18:11):
We appreciate your time this morning.
Speaker 1 (18:12):
Thank you guys, Thank you all for joining me. We
will continue to show after this. You're listening to Stockyards
Bank Sunday Morning Sports Talk on News Radio six thirty WLAP.
Speaker 6 (18:21):
This is the home of the Wildcats. Six thirty w LAP.
Speaker 1 (18:28):
Welcome back Stockyards Bank Sunday Morning Sports Talking Anthony White
along with Larry Vaught and Bo Robinson. Stockyards Bankers your
Trusted Partners is nineteen oh four, so head on over
to syb dot com for all your banking and financial needs.
Want to thank Chad Greenway and Madden Greenway for joining
(18:49):
us a little bit to talk about what's going on
in Madden's life, and you know, renders a lot of
sports information. And I love the fact that I think
I agree with Chad. I've talked to parents all the
time about their parents' success in their career or just
direction their career ners. I don't think there's really a
right path, but I think Chad is onto it. Larry Vaught,
(19:12):
we got to get to a break. But the whole
idea of specializing, I think you kind of hinder your
kids opportunity to make it to the next level if
you put all your eggs on one basket. But Chad
agree with me. I agree with Chad. Will continue the
show after this. You're listening to Stockyards Bank Sunday Morning
Sports Talk on News Radio six thirty WLAP.

This is the home of the Wildcats. Six thirty WLAP.
Speaker 1 (19:39):
Welcome back, Stockyards Bank Sunday Morning Sports Talk Anthony White
along with Larry Vault and producer Bo Robinson. It's our
Sunday Morning Sports Talk was brought to you by a
country boy brewing Larry interview with Chad and Madden.
Speaker 3 (20:02):
So you didn't know Madden was going to be on
your sound surprise as well.
Speaker 4 (20:06):
Well. He had said it was a possibility, but she
has so many different things to do, and he hadn't
indicated in the last couple of days that that was
gonna happen. So I just seem it probably didn't work out,
and was going to be very delighted to have Chad because, like,
it's not every day you get a former All Pro
linebacker to be on with you. So we've had a
National Championship football coach on with us. We've had an
(20:28):
All Pro linebacker, We've had a five star point guard
and I think maybe future All American at Kentucky, and
then we've had our buddy Chris shows on to talk
about follow them ups. It's been a good morning.
Speaker 7 (20:40):
I would say this might be our best Sunday morning
Sports Talk Christmas special.
Speaker 3 (20:45):
We have done that is true.
Speaker 4 (20:49):
It's good, It's been all feel good. Let's enjoy the season,
Let's be happy. So I'm feeling good.
Speaker 1 (20:55):
Speaking of feeling good, I was thinking about something and
I think this is just interesting topic. Interesting subject because
for the past couple of weeks there's been a whole
lot of discussions about decisions and futures and.
Speaker 3 (21:15):
Direction. So let me ask you this, Larry Vaught.
Speaker 1 (21:20):
If say Kenny Brooks keeps doing what he's doing, say
Jaden quaintance, is the answer.
Speaker 3 (21:31):
From the past.
Speaker 1 (21:31):
Couple of weeks conversations about athletic directing position here the
direction of the athletic direction? Does that change the perspective
for the people who were very loud a couple of
weeks ago considering where we are. I mean, no matter
what happens today in volleyball, it's been a fantastic season.
And then if Mark Pope gets it back going in
(21:52):
the right direction. Last year baseball, Nick min Jon had
a pretty good season. Does only things you kind of
look at as some of the decisions made with UH,
with some of the coaching, and our two biggest and
our two biggest coaching positions may have been in questions,
(22:13):
but now that we got those out of ways, they've
been fixed. Does athletic director position or the direction of
the pro or the direction of the athletic department in general,
does it has that been restored.
Speaker 4 (22:27):
Until until until there's another loss, Like it's all about team,
but if the basketball team loses to Alabama, then you'll
hear it again. I mean, it's just kind of the
way it is.
Speaker 3 (22:41):
So they'll never go So it's never going to go away.
Speaker 4 (22:44):
That's my opinion. I could very well be wrong, but
I think it's just once something like that starts, it's
hard to end it. And I think it's just something
they won't They won't go away.
Speaker 7 (22:56):
You're asking too much of the fans to be happy
and just calm down a little bit. Well, it's not really.
It's human nature for us to complain and be over enthusiastic.
Speaker 1 (23:07):
I'm not asking maybe not to complain, and I'm not
as I'm just saying it hasn't that. There's been some
people who spoke over it over the years, quite a
few I mean quite a few years they've been speaking
on those those things. But I'm just saying, put it
is it gonna go back to the back burner, not
that it has. It doesn't even have to be a
conversation like it came to the forefront because of the
changes people wanted made in the program over the past
(23:30):
three two and a half years. So now that the
changes are made, as everything restored back to we're not
that everyone is going to be happy, but it's on
the back burner now. Now it's not remarkable anymore. There's
no need to remark on it.
Speaker 7 (23:46):
So what you're saying is my hand is off the
panic button. Is that it for putting it on the
back burner? Well, because it can go back and hover.
I think it really goes down to with Boat or Larry.
Speaker 1 (24:03):
I think it really comes down to, is yesterday's performance
in basketball solely based around Jaane Quainton's comfortability that they
made for the fan base and the players on the court.
And so now your expectations become lofty again, or do
you still say, well that was man. We still should
(24:23):
not have been in a position where we had a
count on him. Considering this the University of Kentucky and
I got air quotes going up right now when you
say twenty two million dollars, because I still don't believe
it's really a twenty two million dollars that was spent
on the roster. And I don't think everybody's making the
money they're making. But that is just my opinion. But
if just adding Jaden's quaintance brings back hope and optimism,
(24:48):
then I think you say, Okay, the basketball program is
where we expected to be after changing coaches. Football program
is going to be where we expect to be after
changing coaches. Volleyball team is playing for a national championship.
Kenny Brooks has lost one game. Nick Menjion had a
good season last season, on a historical season last season,
(25:08):
and you know things are looking in.
Speaker 3 (25:11):
The right direction.
Speaker 6 (25:11):
I am cautious with my renewed confidence.
Speaker 3 (25:15):
You don't want to talk about starting up the bandwagon, so.
Speaker 7 (25:21):
You I mean, I'm not going over the speed limit
with the bandwagon.
Speaker 1 (25:24):
So you like living in optim or in pessimist No,
when we're looking for a silver lining on this show,
for years, all we tried to do is find a
silver lining.
Speaker 7 (25:33):
And the silver lining was yesterday with Jay and Lowe
and acquaintance, and we're going to build on that, right,
I hope so you and I talked about it before
we got on the air, was how each game is
a process and we're improving and that's what you wanted
to see. And then I made the comment that we
don't want to peak too early with this basketball.
Speaker 1 (25:53):
Team, right, so if we continue to progress weekly, I
think optimism stays there, and I think the team starts
to jail barring any injuries, and hopefully we can get
Jaalen Low. I think it put them in a shoulder
harnessed or something. Put them in something where it doesn't
pop out. Because Larry Vaud asked me earlier today and
(26:14):
when once that joker, any of your joints pops out
and it gets the ligament stretch, it pops out from
some of the darnedest things, like it just simply reaching
for a high item in the cabinet, so canopy's in
the cabinet arc could pop out. So it does happen.
But the more it happens, it just happens more susceptible
for it happened. But I don't think it really hurts
(26:36):
more or anything else. But once it pops out, it
can be in the middle of a shot, it can
be whatever, for my when I've had those things happen,
it didn't really cause a whole lot of pain or anything.
It's just awkward to have your arm pop out in
the middle of an athletic event.
Speaker 7 (26:50):
I think Jack had tweeted out yesterday during the game
when Low went off the court, he said it popped out.
And when I saw what Jack had posted on Twitter,
I thought, oh, my gosh, I don't know if that's good.
Obviously not, We're not going to see him. Maybe he's
done for the year.
Speaker 3 (27:05):
Who knows.
Speaker 7 (27:06):
I don't know that much about shoulder injuries other than
what I'm learning right now through this whole process with Low,
and then the next thing I know, he's back out,
and what a gutsy performance from that kid.
Speaker 1 (27:18):
I just think you have to and I'm sure with
technology and all the things we have in sports medicine though,
that you can find a harness or something that could help.
I can say, I don't think you can prevent it
from popping out, because the level we have to play,
it is going to pop out, like it just doesn't
have the stability.
Speaker 3 (27:34):
It's going to pop out.
Speaker 1 (27:34):
But if we can find a harness, stake can let
him still do what he has to do on the court,
but restricted enough that it shouldn't easily pop out.
Speaker 2 (27:44):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (27:44):
I feel like I'm where we were last year with Butler,
where we need you and it changes the game drastically
when you're not on the game. So I don't know
if it's Jack or Larry who said it earlier. So
you kind of, you know, you kind of live them
by the second. If it pops out, you may have
to go five or ten minutes without them, which will
be huge or even more. But uh, just the unknown
(28:06):
is something that you got to worry about. But I'm
not worried about it because I'm optimistic. Larry, I'm gonna
have my two shoulders. Well, he'll have to get him attached,
which means he would have to sit out for a while.
Speaker 4 (28:18):
And joking, nothing personal. I just hope Brooklyn delays and
he's not hurting her. I'll worry about shoulders usually, let's
worry about Brooklyn.
Speaker 3 (28:29):
She has she has she has bad knee.
Speaker 4 (28:33):
Yeah, she's playing with the with the viniscus is going
to need surgery. Remember when we talked with Chris Lowe
about that, Chris about.
Speaker 3 (28:40):
That, Oh, you don't need them aniscus.
Speaker 4 (28:42):
And Jack, and Jack brought that up.
Speaker 2 (28:44):
You know, so.
Speaker 1 (28:46):
No I plays, I played with him, tore him meniscus
since I was in sixth grade. I didn't get it
fixed until I finished retired from the NFL.
Speaker 4 (28:56):
Okay, well, maybe that's why she's putting it off and
doing Okay, just it just sounds worried some I'm glad.
I'm glad to know that hopefully out that big a
deal now.
Speaker 3 (29:04):
And I but don't I don't jump as high as
uh the lady does either.
Speaker 1 (29:08):
And I will say this, when I was in Saint Louis,
Marshall Fawk tore his meniscus in practice.
Speaker 3 (29:13):
Had it's arthroscopic.
Speaker 1 (29:15):
They just put the little pins in their territors, cut
the little piece off this torn and you go back.
Tim Biggs probably can fill you in on this later, Larry,
but you put you then you go back out there
and look, Marshall Fawk played in the NFL three weeks later.
So it's just really kind of a little soreness for
a little while. But she can probably play.
Speaker 2 (29:33):
Through it.
Speaker 4 (29:35):
As long as she's got one more game, man, that's
all we need.
Speaker 3 (29:37):
And you know, Chad brought up a good thing.
Speaker 1 (29:39):
And we talked about this earlier that I was watching
the game and we're watching the matches and I'm like, wow,
these girls jump and if it's a long set, the
same people who keep spiking, they have to reset, like
you know, it's just jumping constantly jumping, running, jumping, running, jumping.
And it really dawned on me how good a condition
you have to be in just because if there's a
(30:00):
long set and those girls jump as high as they do,
as often as they do, that is huge.
Speaker 3 (30:05):
So when h.
Speaker 1 (30:07):
Was it Chad who brought up that they're conditioning? Oh, no, no,
it was Than brought up their conditioning is amazing. And
I you know, we talked about before like Washington and
some of the rotations they have of the girls that can.
A lot of teams in the country doesn't have the
depth we have or either the training because it is remarkable.
So now I'm back optimistic, uh that we that we
(30:29):
should accomplish the mission because we have four or five
hitters that we can rotate in. Are there people are
other teams built in the country like us, Larry Fack, I.
Speaker 4 (30:41):
Don't think quite quite. They go to the bench, they
don't have quite what Kentucky does, and and also think
about those defenses specialists. I don't have any time. I
know they're diving on a mat, but still, man, they
lay they just flat layout. That's kind of hurt just
a little bit when you come down, and I don't
like that, But they just bout right back up and
keep going. So I mean to be That's still one
(31:02):
of the things that helped separate Kentucky that they just
normally dig the ball so well, which is one thing
they weren't doing against Wisconsin early. Then when they got
back to that, they kind of helped take control of
the match. And on I said, Wisconsin probably dug more
balls against Kentucky's big hitters that I think I've seen
anybody do this year either.
Speaker 1 (31:21):
Yeah, it was I like I said, I do feel
like we were battle tested. I'm kind of kind of torn.
I kind of want to make sure I witness the greatness,
but I really don't want to hinder these girls from
achieving their goals by watching and bring a bad mojo.
What do you think, Learry, I should start off watching
(31:42):
or I should start off not watching.
Speaker 4 (31:45):
I think you should start off watching and then if
things don't go the way we need them to. Then
you get out for a while and then bow and
I'll give you when it's okay if you come back.
Speaker 1 (31:57):
Or you guys can give me the queue from the
beginning that is looking good and it's no. But if
it's looking good, then I have to stay off.
Speaker 4 (32:05):
I want you to come on to mess it up. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (32:07):
Yeah, So I'm gonna start off watching.
Speaker 1 (32:09):
I'm gonna start watching this is because we supported these
young ladies throughout this season. So optimistic, I'm gonna start
off watching. Another question I got before we go to break,
is we are I think I'm not sure if it
was you or Bo who titled this team as Skinner's Winners,
but I keep getting credit for it because I say
(32:30):
it so often, But I think I got that from
you were Bo.
Speaker 4 (32:33):
Yeah, I've called them Skinner's winners for quite a while, okay,
So an easy little thing to write about it, and
there may been some others that have done it too,
but I think you've made it famous well.
Speaker 7 (32:43):
And every time we talk about volleyball and Craig Skinner,
I always bump back in with Leonard Skinner.
Speaker 3 (32:52):
So that's how it all works out, Okay.
Speaker 4 (32:56):
I would hope that when they win this national championship
that somebody, maybe like over Kentucky branded or something, would
come out with a T shirt saying skinners winners.
Speaker 1 (33:06):
See, we got to work on that. How do we
get marketing rights? We need to get some working, Tom Leach,
get us marketing rights. We need to start doing shirts
and slogans. Yeah, we need to start copyrighting some stuff. Yeah,
let's do that. But we got to find out some
for Kenny Brooks because I'm expecting great things from Kenny
Books this season too.
Speaker 4 (33:25):
But yeah, they're what twelve and one?
Speaker 7 (33:27):
Now, I want to go back to the first hour
because we were talking about how this is great for
the Big Blue Nation and volleyball in the championship, and
I mentioned that volleyball has been one consistent I need
to put UK women's basketball in there too. My apologies
on that because they have been fun to watch. They've
been great to watch this season, I would say, so, Yeah.
Speaker 4 (33:51):
It was fun watching the freshman KK Carrol better than
our kaal and Carrol, but known as KK. I mean,
she's six three took eleven three pointers on Friday night
after he made six of them.
Speaker 3 (34:04):
See I did not see that, but that is that
is putting that thing up there. Man, I'm a gonn.
Speaker 1 (34:09):
I'm gont to start watching them, and after today I
will start watching. My focus right now is on is
on volleyball.
Speaker 4 (34:15):
So you know what, you know what you would have
liked the most if you've if you'd been watching the
women's game the other night what I think it was.
It was either late in the third quarter or early
in the fourth card I can't remember exactly. Kentucky was
up forty four or forty five points and Kenny Brooks
called the time out and man, he lit into two.
I mean he tore them up. I'm thinking, whoa. And
(34:38):
he wasn't happy after the game, real happy after the
game either some the execution. But I thought, that's a
man who knows what he's looking for down the road.
And just because they wrapped at forty, he won't go
let him skate. He tore them up.
Speaker 3 (34:51):
Wow. See that's why I like Kenny Brooks and Kenny Brooks.
Speaker 1 (34:54):
After today, after about five o'clock, I will start supporting
you all and watching him, pouring on all my time
and energy into you and coming over to Memorial Coliseum
as long as we get access and watch you guys
play in person.
Speaker 3 (35:06):
We'll be back after this year.

Pigeon Forwards, and hang out in a cabin for most
of the week and maybe do a few other things.
Go see a couple of shows by youngest friends on Kobe.
He can't go to Bidge and Fords without going to
the Hatfield of McCoy Dinner Theater. He thinks that's a
(36:06):
requirement if you go to the city. He thinks you
have to go there. So going there. I'm going to
see one of my favorite shows over at the Array
Variety Theater that has a terrific spot and there's just
an abundance of different things to do. Hope to take
my grandkids up to the sky lift up the top
and walk across the sky bridge, which is a glass
(36:27):
bottom bridge where you can see all down underneath you,
which is kind of a fun thing to do, and
it's lit up really well at Christmas. So a lot
of fun things to do.
Speaker 3 (36:36):
Sounds like you have a very larry Christmas. I think
that will be.
Speaker 4 (36:40):
I want to. I always wanted to enjoy Christmas, but
at this age, definitely want to enjoy every Christmas that
you have.
Speaker 3 (36:48):
I understanding the bowl. You got big plans for Christmas.
I do.
Speaker 5 (36:52):
I have.
Speaker 7 (36:54):
Birthday holiday family celebration this afternoon. We're going to keep
our eyes on volleyball, have another family celebration tomorrow Christmas Eve.
I'm gonna go over and visit with our good friend
Oscar Combs, and then Christmas with the family on Thursday,
and we'll see what happens after that. So it's gonna
be a long, long week, but it's totally fine with me.
Speaker 3 (37:14):
I love it.
Speaker 1 (37:15):
Is Oscar Combs have something going on at home or
is he just gonna sit around and people paying visits
or did you have anything planning to help him out.
Speaker 7 (37:23):
I don't know, but I'm gonna go over there and
just visit, and we're gonna sit there and try to
solve the world's problems together like we always do.
Speaker 3 (37:31):
Is that your normal routine.
Speaker 1 (37:33):
It seems like you holidays or birthdays, you spend a
lot of time with Oscar.
Speaker 7 (37:37):
Well, Oscar and I are really really good friends.
Speaker 3 (37:40):
I think you know that.
Speaker 7 (37:41):
So I actually talked to him yesterday for an hour,
and we talk about every other day and check in
with each other either phone or text.
Speaker 4 (37:49):
And bo bo, I think this summer you need to
convince Oscar to come on a show with us for
about a forty five minute segment or something and just
let us pick his brain and tell stories.
Speaker 7 (38:00):
Let me try that. I think we could arrange that
for the summer. I'd be a good summer program for us.
Speaker 3 (38:05):
Yes, and Larry Vaught.
Speaker 1 (38:07):
Before we get up out of here, I need to know,
are you coming to the airport at one am?
Speaker 4 (38:15):
Now? I'm going to wait and come to the victory
celebration hopefully on either Monday afternoon or Tuesday. I'm going
to count on having something then one am. Just a
little late for me because that makes it be about
two thirty AM getting home, and this body's too old
for that.
Speaker 1 (38:31):
All right, everybody, if you can arrival celebration one am
approximately one am at the Airport Volleyball Team three thirty ABC.

Banks Sunday morning Sports Talk on News Radio six thirty WLAP.
Speaker 3 (38:56):
Merry Christmas,
Welcome back Stockyards Bank Sunday Morning Sports Talk. I'm Anthony White,
along with Larry Vault and producer Bo Robinson, coming to
you from Clark's Main Street Market studios in downtown Lexington, Kentucky.
We're now proud to be joined by Chad Greenway, former
NFL plaier, but yet father of Madden. Greenway five eight
(00:21):
point guard five star point guard is signed with the
University of Kentucky. Good morning, Chad. Good here from you again.
Speaker 2 (00:27):
Hey, good morning, guys. How's you on this morning?
Speaker 1 (00:30):
It's going pretty good. It's been a pretty good morning.
All was well, Howard.
Speaker 2 (00:36):
Things as a little warmer. Be's a little warmer down
there than it is here. We're about zero degrees and
a bunch of snow and ice in the lake and
it's nasty. So how's it down there?
Speaker 3 (00:45):
Wow?
Speaker 1 (00:45):
Really, I'm gonna I'm gonna say thirty ish twenty something.
Speaker 3 (00:51):
That's not bad.
Speaker 2 (00:52):
That's kind of cold for.
Speaker 1 (00:52):
You guys knowing that, Oh yeah, that's cold for us.
Are you are you accustomed to that type? I'm from
Cleveland and it's it doesn't get as cold as you
guys get, But are you accustomed to that? Is as
just a normal day at the office when you're in
single digits and negative digits.
Speaker 2 (01:08):
Yeah, unfortunately in Minnesota. I grew up in South Dakota,
but we've been in Minnesota obviously since six and it's
pretty pretty normal in December and January to be miserable.
So yeah, I'm looking at the lake right now. It's
got probably a foot ice on it already, and it's
been pretty miserable. But I do have a special treat
for you guys. I got Madden sitting right here ready
to jump on the radio with you guys.
Speaker 4 (01:29):
Not the personal chap. That is good news. So yeah,
that's right.
Speaker 2 (01:33):
I figure you'd rather talk to her than me.
Speaker 4 (01:36):
Yeah, well, thank you very much for joining us. Man.
We appreciate that.
Speaker 5 (01:41):
Hi, asking warning glad to be.
Speaker 4 (01:43):
On and also tell us just a little bit. I mean,
I kind of keep up with you stat wise, and
I was just looking last night this season. Right now,
you're averaging thirty two points, seven and a half, three bounds,
eight and a half assist almost seven for game. You're
now at four thousand, six hundred and forty seven career points.
(02:04):
I think that's then about what four hundred to the
all time state record. You've got over a thousand rebounds,
You've got one thousand and eighty seven assists, which is
the all time record for assists in the state of Minnesota.
You're over seven hundred steals. So just how well is
this season going for you?
Speaker 5 (02:24):
The season's going good so far. I think we've you know,
been battle tested with some pretty hard games early on,
which has been good for you know, we're kind of
a young team, have some youth, so it's been good. Obviously,
it's been challenging and just really trying to you know,
hone in on my skills like for next year, and
trying to use all these hard games to you know,
test some things and just continue to grow. And yeah,
(02:45):
I enjoyed this year, but also you know, prepare for next.
Speaker 3 (02:49):
And are you goin Larry?
Speaker 4 (02:53):
That's what I saying. Just tell folks, you've been committed
to Kentucky for a long time. Coach Brooks couldn't talk
about you. Do you officially got signed? Now you were
saying he just was gushing about you. But what what
is there? What was there about Kentucky that convinced you
so early in your recruitment? Okay, this is where I
want to come and maybe it's just so you can
(03:13):
come down here and get warm.
Speaker 5 (03:15):
Yeah, I would say Coach Brooks I always had a
good connection, even when he was at Virginia Tech. And
then you know, he went there and I went on
my visit and he you know, they were my top
school going into the visit, and then you know, I
ended up committing that night. Just I fell in love
with at the moment that I set on campus. And
I think the connection that I had with Coach Brooks
and the staff was something that I didn't find even
(03:37):
close at any other school. So once I, you know,
fell in love with the campus, it was pretty hard
to turn down.
Speaker 3 (03:42):
And so are you.
Speaker 1 (03:45):
I know you've watched a lot of Kenny Brook's teens
and uh, you know, got a chance to talk to him,
but have you actually watched how closely Kenny Brooks relies
on this point guards And we've had actually both point guards,
last year's point guard and this year's point guard on
the show, and they are both some feisty individuals. They
both challenged me and I didn't like it.
Speaker 5 (04:06):
Yeah, I would say obviously all my visits, I've seen
his workouts and then just even now watching the games,
like more in depth. Just seeing how much he realized
and had such a good connection with his point guard.
That's something that really drew me into him being able
to have that leadership role. And you know, he's in
sold all the confidence in me even before I've stepped
foot on campus. So I'm just super excited to be
able to play for him. And I just think my
(04:28):
place style on how he wants the point guards to
play is, you know, goes hand in hand.
Speaker 4 (04:34):
Matt, Matt, I really liked it. As soon as he
was able to talk with you when you were official
or talk about you when you were officially Sam. One
of the first things he said, well, we were talking
to me about he's gonna throw you right out there
next year. I mean, he didn't do like some coaches,
played a little coach speak. We'll see how she does.
We'll kind of work her in. We'll hope she to.
He said, we're gonna throw her right on out there
and go with it. Is that something you liked hear?
(04:56):
I mean, I'm assuming that's what you want to do anyway.
Speaker 5 (05:00):
Yeah, I mean that's obviously great to hear, and I
know that we've been talking about that for a little bit,
and I think, yes, it'll be challenging, and obviously, you know,
playing the best conference against some great competition, it will
be tough in some moments. But I'm excited to be
able to grow and I know that he regardless of
the mistakes or the good moments, like, he'll continue to
grow with me and put trust in me. So it
makes it a little bit daunting, but I'm excited.
Speaker 1 (05:23):
And is there any like mental playing the SEC as
at all, playing college sports at all as a true
freshman would be tough? Is there any mental preparation when
the coach says that? Sometimes coach says that to get
you to sign with him. But Kenny Brooks seems to
be a straight shooter. So if he's expecting you to
play as a true freshman, are you are you preparing
(05:45):
for that any thing that you are doing differently to
make sure that if that opportunity comes, when it is
does come, that you can be as prepared as possible.
Speaker 5 (05:55):
I would just say, for me, when I get on
campus and even now, like i've you know, like I've said,
continue to grow on the things that I want to
entrust my preparation, And I know that coach Brookstol put
me in the right spots and it will come with me,
you know, having to make my own plays. And I
just I have the most confidence in our team and
this thing my preparation, and I think it will definitely
be you know, challenging mentally, but I think I prepare
(06:19):
myself and had enough competition in my years growing up
that I think it'll you know, it's helped prepare me.
Speaker 4 (06:26):
Chat. I'm kind of curious. Madden's the all time state
leading scorer and soccer. She's a state track champion. As
we talked about, She's already got these all time assist
record in the state of Minnesota, closing in on maybe
the scoring record. Did you make her play a bunch
of different sports when she was little? Encourage her to
play a bunch of different sports? She just tell you
(06:48):
that's what she was going to do. How did all
that kind of evolve and how did she become such
a standout and all of them?
Speaker 2 (06:55):
Yeah, I think it's you know, the conversations going around
the country right now is just with youth sports and
really focus in one sport and kids really specializing early.
My wife, you know, has been well documented. She ran
track in college, but she was also a high school basketball,
volleyball player, track and cross country, and same with me baseball, track, football,
so in basketball. So multi sports was just our life.
(07:18):
And and as you know, clubs and you know, different
groups try to make you specialize. We really focused on
putting the kids in a school where they'd be able
to focus on multiple sports and then you know, whatever
one they picked and loved to kind of focus on
that one year round. So she's able to you know,
and most importantly, to be able to play with their siblings.
You know. Obviously, Madden's younger sister, Beckett, is a freshman,
and she's now had three seasons with her in basketball
(07:40):
and soccer, and and they'll run track again and the
spring together. And when this is all said and done,
you know, and everybody's you know, puts their shoes down
and puts the basketball down, it's it's it's more about
that in that relationship with her sister, and that opportunity
and those uh and those great memories they'll have. But yeah,
I mean we we you know, they would not be
allowed to only play one. I mean, we simply wouldn't
allow it. You know, it's about it's about just you know,
(08:02):
being being well rounded, playing different roles on different teams,
pushing yourself in different ways, because at the end of
the day, you know, you can be a great basketball player,
but you got to be a good human and that
comes with its being well rounded and playing multiple sports
and and doing hard things. You know, we in track
she runs really hard events, you know, three hundred hurdles
for four by four hundred relay. So she's running hard
events and doing hard things because just mentally, you know,
(08:23):
as we talked about preparing for the SEC, that's a
whole nother grind, and she'll be able to lean back
in some of those memories she's had in other sports
and really and really kind of take from them.
Speaker 4 (08:32):
And crazy is it so? So as crazy as it
sounds with Madden spending our time in a different sports,
when she gets to Kentucky and she becomes basketball only,
do you think her best basketball is still ahead of her?
You can either Ansset or Madden either wanted how you
all kind of feel about that when you become basketball only.
Speaker 2 (08:54):
Yeah, you know, when you specialize young and I saw
this a lot in my football career, is when you
specialize and you're in the way room as a high
school kids, just focusing on football in one position, you
kind of you kind of reach your potential a little
quicker than others. And multi support kids that go to
college is well documented, have just to have a higher ceiling.
You know, she's never specialized in basketball year round, she
never trained year around. Mean, she's always she's always training, right,
(09:15):
I mean she's always putting shots up or getting some
stuff done, but she's never focused really on her you know,
in depth development of the game, uh, and the intricacies
that come with that, especially playing point guard that you know,
she because she's running to track practice, or she's running
to soccer practice, and she's doing these other things. So
we really think it's sort of just tip of the
spear for her when she gets to college. And and
(09:36):
that was one of those things from her parent perspective.
You know, yes, it's it's coach Brooks obviously, but it's
the entire staff and what they've built there from this day.
You know, from a from a culture, the kids, the
kids get along, the kids love each other. They're they're
having fun, they're winning, they're doing it the right way.
They're they're recruiting the right kind of kids, and uh,
you know, we're obviously you know, we're we're excited to
(09:59):
be part of of a big blue nation and dive
all the way in here soon when she gets on campus.
So yeah, it's part of the process, but it's one
of those things you just take from it and hopefully
she'll keep getting better.
Speaker 1 (10:11):
And Chad, since I have the opportunity, since you're a
professional athlete yourself and raising some stellar athletes and your
wife as well, there's always a conversation based off what
we just talked about. There's a conversation about people say, well,
they only play basketball, they stopped playing sports in high school.
I've always been a big proponent of play as many
(10:31):
You don't know if you're going to growth spurts, you
don't know if you're going to develop faster in any
other Just because you've been a professional athlete and you
are raising successful athletes, would you be on the argument of, well,
my kid needs to specialize, so I took them out
of all the other sports, or do you think it
was advantageous for your girls to play and yourself to
(10:52):
play multiple sports.
Speaker 2 (10:54):
Oh yeah, no, it's definitely played multiple At the end
of the day, if if we're trying to develop your
young people to play professional sports, you're doing it wrong.
I mean, it's so hard to make it. I mean
I play with you know, multiple All Americans and guys
in college that didn't make it in the NFL. I mean,
it doesn't you know at the end of the day, like,
it's so hard to make it to those leagues no
matter what sport you're playing, and certainly the game that
(11:15):
Madden's going the direction that I want to with basketball,
you know, the w n b A and professional leagues
overseas her are really hard to uh, really hard to make.
And of course that's a goal that she has and
I think that we have for her. But you never,
you never you never look at the long the long game.
You just take it one day at a time. If
you start to just focus on those long term goals
and you take everything out of your life that you
think is going to actually hinder you to get there,
(11:36):
I think multiple sports is actually going to help you
get there. You can look at the NFL draft, NBA draft,
the guys that are playing multiple sports are predominantly the
ones getting drafted. So it's it's a I mean, I'm
a huge proponent. I think a lot of folks should
should do that and and we really wanted to, you know,
folcus on the kids being well rounded athletically and also
try to be great kids while you're doing it.
Speaker 1 (11:57):
And I wanted to ask Madden, the new thing now
is with the youth and maybe because of social media.
Do you guys have a group chat? Swords and Swords
and McDonald and you all, do you have a group chat?
Do you guys communicate on a regular basis?
Speaker 5 (12:12):
Yeah, No, we do have a group chat. We've been
talking and it's just been obviously you know, their high
school teammates, and it's been so fun to be able
to meet them and you know, an their personalities off
the court. But we're just we always been talking about
how excited we are to you know, get on campus
and just have that summer to kind of get closer
and grow together. So it's gonna be super fun.
Speaker 4 (12:32):
Matt. Did you get a chance to see the other
night when your future teammate KK Carroll put in those
six three pointers? I thought maybe one time she was
finally gonna go inside and shoot, but no, she just
bombed away from outside made six three pointers. Friday, night.
Speaker 5 (12:47):
Yeah, no, I did see that. I think it's obviously
great to see her. Me and her have gotten super
close earliers, so to be able to see her, you know,
have some success as a freshman and just to she
has so much fun doing it. So it's been super
fun to watch her and yeah, super proud.
Speaker 4 (13:00):
So and then when you kind of look back, I mean,
I know, you're you're so young, it's already thinking about
looking back, but all the success you're having, is there
one particular moment has been Has it been the basketball
state championships? Has it been the soccer all time scoring records?
It just playing with your sister? What's kind of been
your favorite memory so far? Or is there just not
(13:22):
one you could even pick?
Speaker 5 (13:26):
I mean, it's hard to pay There's been so many
great memories, but I think ending the soccer season on
a state championship and just be able to end my
soccer career and like the best way possible with my
best friends and my sister and all. That was just
amazing to do and it was just a great, you know,
cap off to a bunch of years playing the sport.
But I think it also shows, like you know, that
(13:46):
chapter in my life is ending, but I had so
much fun doing it and ended in the best way possible.
It's the best people. So that was one of my
favorite memories. I think I'll cherish that for a long time.
Speaker 4 (13:56):
And then I had a listener text me just now
and wanted to ask whether you thought as your father
had more influence on your athletic career, your mother had
more influence, or have you not paid attention to either
one of them.
Speaker 5 (14:10):
I think I would say probably my dad. He's obviously
pushed me and taught me my work ethic and how
much how much work it takes to get to where
I want to be, And I think they've both always
been super supportive. But my dad's had a huge huge
impact on my athletic accomplishments. I suppose.
Speaker 4 (14:27):
So, Chad, did you actually, I know you're coaching, you
get involved in coaching? Did you coach Madden at some
point during her basketball career?
Speaker 5 (14:40):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (14:40):
Well yeah, she said that. Only said that because I'm
just sitting right here at all, so you know how
that goes.
Speaker 3 (14:43):
If her mom.
Speaker 2 (14:44):
Was getting there doing the interview, she'd be saying that. No.
I mean, I think I've always I've always thought Man's
best attribute was her mentality, and I think that a
lot of she does get a lot of that from
her mom. Just her competitive nature and will to win
and to want to win, and so that's you know,
Jenny certainly gets a lot of credit for that. Yeah,
My first my first job post career in the NFL
(15:06):
was coaching Madden in fourth grade basketball. So I coached
her from you know, third grade all the way up
through sixth grade, and then I coach her a youth
team as well, or at least helped with it for
over the years in our in her youth basketball world.
And then once she got to you know, the next
you know, sort of that that age up to seventh
eighth grade, I stepped away and just let other people,
you know, handle that and just try to watch them
a far and just be a dad as much as
(15:27):
I could, you know, and step away and not you know,
really wanted to build a relationship that's beyond sports. Obviously.
I don't want our whole relationship to just be about
sports and and UH and me coaching. So it's been
nice to have good people around her that have coached
her and pushed her hard and and UH. And that's
why another reason, you know, you just love coach Brooks
and his staff because you just feel like you're handing
(15:47):
her off to somebody who really cares about her as
a person but also wants to develop her as a
player and a human being. So that's the that's a
great part from a from a parents standpoint, And yeah,
I've done it, you know beck At, our next daughter.
At coached her and now I'm coaching our fifth grader.
It was a lot of fun. I played high school
hoops and and and wanted to be a basketball player
in college, but it's got a better offer, more more
money for play football, so I'm with that direction instead
(16:07):
of a set of hoops. So it's fun to get
back into basketball world and be the coach to kids
and have and you know, helps them build a love
for it.
Speaker 4 (16:14):
And Beckett's already getting scholarship or a lot of college
attention already, didn't she.
Speaker 2 (16:20):
Yeah she is, Yeah, she's you know, it's really you know,
it's interesting. You know, Madden sort of the least locally
here has kind of had to always play with that
that that, uh, I guess in a shadow so to speak,
of my playing career here in Minnesota, and now Beckett's
got a couple of shadows to deal with with Madden
and and just our family name up here in Minnesota.
And and she's really done a great job of stepping
out into her own world and doing her own thing.
(16:42):
And yeah, she's caught a bunch of great attention already.
And she's a fiery competitor, really good on ball defender,
and a great offensive player. So she's grown into her
own her own game. And she's you know, she's got
a different game than Madden, but still plays that point
guard role. So you know, she's a fiery competitor as
well and has a chance. I keep telling them they're
fifth grade sister is gonna be the best one. But
(17:02):
we'll see how that shakes out. That that's up to
the coach to get her gooder, that fifth grader good.
Speaker 1 (17:07):
And my last question is, because you guys have such
a well rounded athletic household, will you all at three
point thirty be watching the volleyball National Championship in the
Greenway household?
Speaker 2 (17:18):
We will? Yeah, we love that semifinal match. You know
what I thought as I watched that game take play out.
I always think it's funny to see how games take shape,
and and in that it was just their ability and
their conditioning. You know, Kentucky's conditioning to be really good
in the final two sets was incredible to watch. And
Wisconsin that you could just watch them run out of gas.
(17:38):
And I think that's going to play a huge role
in this championship game because it's going to come down
to attrition because it's you know, it's been a long
run of grind. Kids are sleeping in hotel rooms and
it's like who can play the best the longest. So
we'll be watching and we're fired up and sharing for
the girls.
Speaker 3 (17:53):
I appreciate that, Larry, good bod you got anything else.
Speaker 4 (17:56):
Now, Just just appreciate Chad, you and Madden both joining
us today. Stay as warm as possible up there, but
I guess you guys are so used to it you
just deal with it. Ivanta just baby cold, you're even
talking about that.
Speaker 2 (18:08):
Yeah, it's definitely cold, that's for sure.
Speaker 3 (18:10):
But thanks for having us song.
Speaker 2 (18:11):
We appreciate your time this morning.
Speaker 1 (18:12):
Thank you guys, Thank you all for joining me. We
will continue to show after this. You're listening to Stockyards
Bank Sunday Morning Sports Talk on News Radio six thirty WLAP.
Speaker 6 (18:21):
This is the home of the Wildcats. Six thirty w LAP.
Speaker 1 (18:28):
Welcome back Stockyards Bank Sunday Morning Sports Talking Anthony White
along with Larry Vaught and Bo Robinson. Stockyards Bankers your
Trusted Partners is nineteen oh four, so head on over
to syb dot com for all your banking and financial needs.
Want to thank Chad Greenway and Madden Greenway for joining
(18:49):
us a little bit to talk about what's going on
in Madden's life, and you know, renders a lot of
sports information. And I love the fact that I think
I agree with Chad. I've talked to parents all the
time about their parents' success in their career or just
direction their career ners. I don't think there's really a
right path, but I think Chad is onto it. Larry Vaught,
(19:12):
we got to get to a break. But the whole
idea of specializing, I think you kind of hinder your
kids opportunity to make it to the next level if
you put all your eggs on one basket. But Chad
agree with me. I agree with Chad. Will continue the
show after this. You're listening to Stockyards Bank Sunday Morning
Sports Talk on News Radio six thirty WLAP.
Speaker 6 (19:33):
This is the home of the Wildcats. Six thirty WLAP.
Speaker 1 (19:39):
Welcome back, Stockyards Bank Sunday Morning Sports Talk Anthony White
along with Larry Vault and producer Bo Robinson. It's our
Sunday Morning Sports Talk was brought to you by a
country boy brewing Larry interview with Chad and Madden.
Speaker 3 (20:02):
So you didn't know Madden was going to be on
your sound surprise as well.
Speaker 4 (20:06):
Well. He had said it was a possibility, but she
has so many different things to do, and he hadn't
indicated in the last couple of days that that was
gonna happen. So I just seem it probably didn't work out,
and was going to be very delighted to have Chad because, like,
it's not every day you get a former All Pro
linebacker to be on with you. So we've had a
National Championship football coach on with us. We've had an
(20:28):
All Pro linebacker, We've had a five star point guard
and I think maybe future All American at Kentucky, and
then we've had our buddy Chris shows on to talk
about follow them ups. It's been a good morning.
Speaker 7 (20:40):
I would say this might be our best Sunday morning
Sports Talk Christmas special.
Speaker 3 (20:45):
We have done that is true.
Speaker 4 (20:49):
It's good, It's been all feel good. Let's enjoy the season,
Let's be happy. So I'm feeling good.
Speaker 1 (20:55):
Speaking of feeling good, I was thinking about something and
I think this is just interesting topic. Interesting subject because
for the past couple of weeks there's been a whole
lot of discussions about decisions and futures and.
Speaker 3 (21:15):
Direction. So let me ask you this, Larry Vaught.
Speaker 1 (21:20):
If say Kenny Brooks keeps doing what he's doing, say
Jaden quaintance, is the answer.
Speaker 3 (21:31):
From the past.
Speaker 1 (21:31):
Couple of weeks conversations about athletic directing position here the
direction of the athletic direction? Does that change the perspective
for the people who were very loud a couple of
weeks ago considering where we are. I mean, no matter
what happens today in volleyball, it's been a fantastic season.
And then if Mark Pope gets it back going in
(21:52):
the right direction. Last year baseball, Nick min Jon had
a pretty good season. Does only things you kind of
look at as some of the decisions made with UH,
with some of the coaching, and our two biggest and
our two biggest coaching positions may have been in questions,
(22:13):
but now that we got those out of ways, they've
been fixed. Does athletic director position or the direction of
the pro or the direction of the athletic department in general,
does it has that been restored.
Speaker 4 (22:27):
Until until until there's another loss, Like it's all about team,
but if the basketball team loses to Alabama, then you'll
hear it again. I mean, it's just kind of the
way it is.
Speaker 3 (22:41):
So they'll never go So it's never going to go away.
Speaker 4 (22:44):
That's my opinion. I could very well be wrong, but
I think it's just once something like that starts, it's
hard to end it. And I think it's just something
they won't They won't go away.
Speaker 7 (22:56):
You're asking too much of the fans to be happy
and just calm down a little bit. Well, it's not really.
It's human nature for us to complain and be over enthusiastic.
Speaker 1 (23:07):
I'm not asking maybe not to complain, and I'm not
as I'm just saying it hasn't that. There's been some
people who spoke over it over the years, quite a
few I mean quite a few years they've been speaking
on those those things. But I'm just saying, put it
is it gonna go back to the back burner, not
that it has. It doesn't even have to be a
conversation like it came to the forefront because of the
changes people wanted made in the program over the past
(23:30):
three two and a half years. So now that the
changes are made, as everything restored back to we're not
that everyone is going to be happy, but it's on
the back burner now. Now it's not remarkable anymore. There's
no need to remark on it.
Speaker 7 (23:46):
So what you're saying is my hand is off the
panic button. Is that it for putting it on the
back burner? Well, because it can go back and hover.
I think it really goes down to with Boat or Larry.
Speaker 1 (24:03):
I think it really comes down to, is yesterday's performance
in basketball solely based around Jaane Quainton's comfortability that they
made for the fan base and the players on the court.
And so now your expectations become lofty again, or do
you still say, well that was man. We still should
(24:23):
not have been in a position where we had a
count on him. Considering this the University of Kentucky and
I got air quotes going up right now when you
say twenty two million dollars, because I still don't believe
it's really a twenty two million dollars that was spent
on the roster. And I don't think everybody's making the
money they're making. But that is just my opinion. But
if just adding Jaden's quaintance brings back hope and optimism,
(24:48):
then I think you say, Okay, the basketball program is
where we expected to be after changing coaches. Football program
is going to be where we expect to be after
changing coaches. Volleyball team is playing for a national championship.
Kenny Brooks has lost one game. Nick Menjion had a
good season last season, on a historical season last season,
(25:08):
and you know things are looking in.
Speaker 3 (25:11):
The right direction.
Speaker 6 (25:11):
I am cautious with my renewed confidence.
Speaker 3 (25:15):
You don't want to talk about starting up the bandwagon, so.
Speaker 7 (25:21):
You I mean, I'm not going over the speed limit
with the bandwagon.
Speaker 1 (25:24):
So you like living in optim or in pessimist No,
when we're looking for a silver lining on this show,
for years, all we tried to do is find a
silver lining.
Speaker 7 (25:33):
And the silver lining was yesterday with Jay and Lowe
and acquaintance, and we're going to build on that, right,
I hope so you and I talked about it before
we got on the air, was how each game is
a process and we're improving and that's what you wanted
to see. And then I made the comment that we
don't want to peak too early with this basketball.
Speaker 1 (25:53):
Team, right, so if we continue to progress weekly, I
think optimism stays there, and I think the team starts
to jail barring any injuries, and hopefully we can get
Jaalen Low. I think it put them in a shoulder
harnessed or something. Put them in something where it doesn't
pop out. Because Larry Vaud asked me earlier today and
(26:14):
when once that joker, any of your joints pops out
and it gets the ligament stretch, it pops out from
some of the darnedest things, like it just simply reaching
for a high item in the cabinet, so canopy's in
the cabinet arc could pop out. So it does happen.
But the more it happens, it just happens more susceptible
for it happened. But I don't think it really hurts
(26:36):
more or anything else. But once it pops out, it
can be in the middle of a shot, it can
be whatever, for my when I've had those things happen,
it didn't really cause a whole lot of pain or anything.
It's just awkward to have your arm pop out in
the middle of an athletic event.
Speaker 7 (26:50):
I think Jack had tweeted out yesterday during the game
when Low went off the court, he said it popped out.
And when I saw what Jack had posted on Twitter,
I thought, oh, my gosh, I don't know if that's good.
Obviously not, We're not going to see him. Maybe he's
done for the year.
Speaker 3 (27:05):
Who knows.
Speaker 7 (27:06):
I don't know that much about shoulder injuries other than
what I'm learning right now through this whole process with Low,
and then the next thing I know, he's back out,
and what a gutsy performance from that kid.
Speaker 1 (27:18):
I just think you have to and I'm sure with
technology and all the things we have in sports medicine though,
that you can find a harness or something that could help.
I can say, I don't think you can prevent it
from popping out, because the level we have to play,
it is going to pop out, like it just doesn't
have the stability.
Speaker 3 (27:34):
It's going to pop out.
Speaker 1 (27:34):
But if we can find a harness, stake can let
him still do what he has to do on the court,
but restricted enough that it shouldn't easily pop out.
Speaker 2 (27:44):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (27:44):
I feel like I'm where we were last year with Butler,
where we need you and it changes the game drastically
when you're not on the game. So I don't know
if it's Jack or Larry who said it earlier. So
you kind of, you know, you kind of live them
by the second. If it pops out, you may have
to go five or ten minutes without them, which will
be huge or even more. But uh, just the unknown
(28:06):
is something that you got to worry about. But I'm
not worried about it because I'm optimistic. Larry, I'm gonna
have my two shoulders. Well, he'll have to get him attached,
which means he would have to sit out for a while.
Speaker 4 (28:18):
And joking, nothing personal. I just hope Brooklyn delays and
he's not hurting her. I'll worry about shoulders usually, let's
worry about Brooklyn.
Speaker 3 (28:29):
She has she has she has bad knee.
Speaker 4 (28:33):
Yeah, she's playing with the with the viniscus is going
to need surgery. Remember when we talked with Chris Lowe
about that, Chris about.
Speaker 3 (28:40):
That, Oh, you don't need them aniscus.
Speaker 4 (28:42):
And Jack, and Jack brought that up.
Speaker 2 (28:44):
You know, so.
Speaker 1 (28:46):
No I plays, I played with him, tore him meniscus
since I was in sixth grade. I didn't get it
fixed until I finished retired from the NFL.
Speaker 4 (28:56):
Okay, well, maybe that's why she's putting it off and
doing Okay, just it just sounds worried some I'm glad.
I'm glad to know that hopefully out that big a
deal now.
Speaker 3 (29:04):
And I but don't I don't jump as high as
uh the lady does either.
Speaker 1 (29:08):
And I will say this, when I was in Saint Louis,
Marshall Fawk tore his meniscus in practice.
Speaker 3 (29:13):
Had it's arthroscopic.
Speaker 1 (29:15):
They just put the little pins in their territors, cut
the little piece off this torn and you go back.
Tim Biggs probably can fill you in on this later, Larry,
but you put you then you go back out there
and look, Marshall Fawk played in the NFL three weeks later.
So it's just really kind of a little soreness for
a little while. But she can probably play.
Speaker 2 (29:33):
Through it.
Speaker 4 (29:35):
As long as she's got one more game, man, that's
all we need.
Speaker 3 (29:37):
And you know, Chad brought up a good thing.
Speaker 1 (29:39):
And we talked about this earlier that I was watching
the game and we're watching the matches and I'm like, wow,
these girls jump and if it's a long set, the
same people who keep spiking, they have to reset, like
you know, it's just jumping constantly jumping, running, jumping, running, jumping.
And it really dawned on me how good a condition
you have to be in just because if there's a
(30:00):
long set and those girls jump as high as they do,
as often as they do, that is huge.
Speaker 3 (30:05):
So when h.
Speaker 1 (30:07):
Was it Chad who brought up that they're conditioning? Oh, no, no,
it was Than brought up their conditioning is amazing. And
I you know, we talked about before like Washington and
some of the rotations they have of the girls that can.
A lot of teams in the country doesn't have the
depth we have or either the training because it is remarkable.
So now I'm back optimistic, uh that we that we
(30:29):
should accomplish the mission because we have four or five
hitters that we can rotate in. Are there people are
other teams built in the country like us, Larry Fack, I.
Speaker 4 (30:41):
Don't think quite quite. They go to the bench, they
don't have quite what Kentucky does, and and also think
about those defenses specialists. I don't have any time. I
know they're diving on a mat, but still, man, they
lay they just flat layout. That's kind of hurt just
a little bit when you come down, and I don't
like that, But they just bout right back up and
keep going. So I mean to be That's still one
(31:02):
of the things that helped separate Kentucky that they just
normally dig the ball so well, which is one thing
they weren't doing against Wisconsin early. Then when they got
back to that, they kind of helped take control of
the match. And on I said, Wisconsin probably dug more
balls against Kentucky's big hitters that I think I've seen
anybody do this year either.
Speaker 1 (31:21):
Yeah, it was I like I said, I do feel
like we were battle tested. I'm kind of kind of torn.
I kind of want to make sure I witness the greatness,
but I really don't want to hinder these girls from
achieving their goals by watching and bring a bad mojo.
What do you think, Learry, I should start off watching
(31:42):
or I should start off not watching.
Speaker 4 (31:45):
I think you should start off watching and then if
things don't go the way we need them to. Then
you get out for a while and then bow and
I'll give you when it's okay if you come back.
Speaker 1 (31:57):
Or you guys can give me the queue from the
beginning that is looking good and it's no. But if
it's looking good, then I have to stay off.
Speaker 4 (32:05):
I want you to come on to mess it up. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (32:07):
Yeah, So I'm gonna start off watching.
Speaker 1 (32:09):
I'm gonna start watching this is because we supported these
young ladies throughout this season. So optimistic, I'm gonna start
off watching. Another question I got before we go to break,
is we are I think I'm not sure if it
was you or Bo who titled this team as Skinner's Winners,
but I keep getting credit for it because I say
(32:30):
it so often, But I think I got that from
you were Bo.
Speaker 4 (32:33):
Yeah, I've called them Skinner's winners for quite a while, okay,
So an easy little thing to write about it, and
there may been some others that have done it too,
but I think you've made it famous well.
Speaker 7 (32:43):
And every time we talk about volleyball and Craig Skinner,
I always bump back in with Leonard Skinner.
Speaker 3 (32:52):
So that's how it all works out, Okay.
Speaker 4 (32:56):
I would hope that when they win this national championship
that somebody, maybe like over Kentucky branded or something, would
come out with a T shirt saying skinners winners.
Speaker 1 (33:06):
See, we got to work on that. How do we
get marketing rights? We need to get some working, Tom Leach,
get us marketing rights. We need to start doing shirts
and slogans. Yeah, we need to start copyrighting some stuff. Yeah,
let's do that. But we got to find out some
for Kenny Brooks because I'm expecting great things from Kenny
Books this season too.
Speaker 4 (33:25):
But yeah, they're what twelve and one?
Speaker 7 (33:27):
Now, I want to go back to the first hour
because we were talking about how this is great for
the Big Blue Nation and volleyball in the championship, and
I mentioned that volleyball has been one consistent I need
to put UK women's basketball in there too. My apologies
on that because they have been fun to watch. They've
been great to watch this season, I would say, so, Yeah.
Speaker 4 (33:51):
It was fun watching the freshman KK Carrol better than
our kaal and Carrol, but known as KK. I mean,
she's six three took eleven three pointers on Friday night
after he made six of them.
Speaker 3 (34:04):
See I did not see that, but that is that
is putting that thing up there. Man, I'm a gonn.
Speaker 1 (34:09):
I'm gont to start watching them, and after today I
will start watching. My focus right now is on is
on volleyball.
Speaker 4 (34:15):
So you know what, you know what you would have
liked the most if you've if you'd been watching the
women's game the other night what I think it was.
It was either late in the third quarter or early
in the fourth card I can't remember exactly. Kentucky was
up forty four or forty five points and Kenny Brooks
called the time out and man, he lit into two.
I mean he tore them up. I'm thinking, whoa. And
(34:38):
he wasn't happy after the game, real happy after the
game either some the execution. But I thought, that's a
man who knows what he's looking for down the road.
And just because they wrapped at forty, he won't go
let him skate. He tore them up.
Speaker 3 (34:51):
Wow. See that's why I like Kenny Brooks and Kenny Brooks.
Speaker 1 (34:54):
After today, after about five o'clock, I will start supporting
you all and watching him, pouring on all my time
and energy into you and coming over to Memorial Coliseum
as long as we get access and watch you guys
play in person.
Speaker 3 (35:06):
We'll be back after this year.

Yeah, I always try to have big plans for Christmas.
Gonna take my family. We're going down to my favorite place,
Pigeon Forwards, and hang out in a cabin for most
of the week and maybe do a few other things.
Go see a couple of shows by youngest friends on Kobe.
He can't go to Bidge and Fords without going to
the Hatfield of McCoy Dinner Theater. He thinks that's a
(36:06):
requirement if you go to the city. He thinks you
have to go there. So going there. I'm going to
see one of my favorite shows over at the Array
Variety Theater that has a terrific spot and there's just
an abundance of different things to do. Hope to take
my grandkids up to the sky lift up the top
and walk across the sky bridge, which is a glass
(36:27):
bottom bridge where you can see all down underneath you,
which is kind of a fun thing to do, and
it's lit up really well at Christmas. So a lot
of fun things to do.
Speaker 3 (36:36):
Sounds like you have a very larry Christmas. I think
that will be.
Speaker 4 (36:40):

at this age, definitely want to enjoy every Christmas that
you have.
Speaker 3 (36:48):
I understanding the bowl. You got big plans for Christmas.

Birthday holiday family celebration this afternoon. We're going to keep
our eyes on volleyball, have another family celebration tomorrow Christmas Eve.
I'm gonna go over and visit with our good friend
Oscar Combs, and then Christmas with the family on Thursday,
and we'll see what happens after that. So it's gonna
be a long, long week, but it's totally fine with me.
Speaker 3 (37:14):
I love it.
Speaker 1 (37:15):
Is Oscar Combs have something going on at home or
is he just gonna sit around and people paying visits
or did you have anything planning to help him out.
Speaker 7 (37:23):
I don't know, but I'm gonna go over there and
just visit, and we're gonna sit there and try to
solve the world's problems together like we always do.
Speaker 3 (37:31):
Is that your normal routine.
Speaker 1 (37:33):
It seems like you holidays or birthdays, you spend a
lot of time with Oscar.
Speaker 7 (37:37):
Well, Oscar and I are really really good friends.
Speaker 3 (37:40):
I think you know that.
Speaker 7 (37:41):
So I actually talked to him yesterday for an hour,
and we talk about every other day and check in
with each other either phone or text.
Speaker 4 (37:49):
And bo bo, I think this summer you need to
convince Oscar to come on a show with us for
about a forty five minute segment or something and just
let us pick his brain and tell stories.
Speaker 7 (38:00):
Let me try that. I think we could arrange that
for the summer. I'd be a good summer program for us.
Speaker 3 (38:05):
Yes, and Larry Vaught.
Speaker 1 (38:07):
Before we get up out of here, I need to know,
are you coming to the airport at one am?
Speaker 4 (38:15):
Now? I'm going to wait and come to the victory
celebration hopefully on either Monday afternoon or Tuesday. I'm going
to count on having something then one am. Just a
little late for me because that makes it be about
two thirty AM getting home, and this body's too old
for that.
Speaker 1 (38:31):
All right, everybody, if you can arrival celebration one am
approximately one am at the Airport Volleyball Team three thirty ABC.
